Alex isn’t going to have time to finish the feature right now, so it will have to be finished off by someone else. Given that it’s quite a security-sensitive feature, it’s unlikely to land in 1.12 at this stage, and although I can’t speak with any authority on this, I expect it will land in 1.13.

I know this is a feature you’re very keen to see, and I appreciate that it must be frustrating that it didn’t land yet.

I don’t think it’s at all annoying to wonder what’s become of a feature you care about, and I didn’t mean to give that impression. But if you were interested in helping out, of course that would be awesome!

According to the discussion in the pull request for it (https://github.com/mozilla/addon-sdk/pull/579) the test for cross-domain xhr is failing, and that’s why this hasn’t landed yet. But I just tried running the test in that branch (using the command “cfx testaddons”), and it worked for me.

I don’t understand the technical details of this code, really, so might not make a very effective mentor, but if you’d like to discuss how you could help with this bug, or chat about anything else Jetpacky, the best thing to do is probably jump into the #jetpack channel on irc.mozilla.org, and ask (although people in Europe and N America might not be very responsive at this time of day). I think it would be really helpful just to check out that branch and play around with the feature, and see if it seems to work.
